Shoes! Give. Me. Shoes!

About

Welcome to this place . “This place” being where an avid fashion lover, former 3D animator, and current “where is my mind?” stay-at-home mom seeks sanity through creativity (and shoes).

Of farm grown stock, branded “South African goods”, packaged and processed into a humour-loving lunatic who gallivants through Gangsta’s Paradise (aka Johannesburg) accompanied by a string bean, a toddling acrobat and furball with a penchant for poo.

Join me while I ramble on about stuff and document other stuff, aspiring to one day be classed as Etsy sale goods.

“Kokkewiet” – a small green and yellow South African bird, also my nickname.

This Bird has great taste, sporting an all time fave of mine – The Balenciaga Ceinture Ankle boots.

If you ever feel the urge to get back into 3D then I suggest “Digital Tutors”. Their tutorials are the best we’ve seen and helped us change completely from one software package to another just by teaching ourselves (my husband and I) 😉
They don’t only focus on 3D but all creative computer packages. They rock the party. The education we got from them was way better than our college course (but then again, this is South Africa 😛 ).

Wow! That’s some recommendation. Those guys must be really good. I’ll check them out. I may have a couple of easy months during winters…Thanks for telling me about them. Do they train you on Blender? I have it loaded on my machine, but it looks formidable.

Well, if Digital Tutors can’t help I’ll be surprised. I did Max a million years ago in college, when I look at it now it seems so confusing. I think any 3D program that isn’t the one you’ve been working in will look like a bunch of hieroglyphics 😛
I managed to move from Maya into Softimage XSI. Now THAT was a mind blow 😉
And now Autodesk have discontinued XSI. Bastards. I’m probably going to end up having to learn Houdini or (gasp!) Maya again if I ever want to get back into the freelance world. (Maya is a ball-ache. Even if you don’t have balls 😛 )

Hi dear — just nominated you for a Liebster — you probably know the drill so please feel free to ignore or accept at your leisure! It’s at https://introvertsdictionary.wordpress.com/
See you in the blogosphere — love those shoe Fridays!

Time? Yes, I have a distant memory of that amazing and underrated property. Oh how I look forward to the day I get to taste it’s sweetness once more. I’m doubtful though, kids hang around for quite a while don’t they? 😛
